Additionally, Chambers also released its 2008 Client's Guide to America's
Leading Lawyers for Business Lawyers June 13, which again describes Thelen's
Construction practice as "the pre-eminent practice of its kind in the United
States." The book also individually recognizes 29 of the firm's attorneys for
leadership and excellence in the legal field.
"This is a significant achievement and it stands as testimony to the
breadth and depth of the expertise Thelen brings to its clients and reflects
the trust they have put in members of the firm over the years," said John
Heisse Jr., chair of Thelen's Construction group.
Chambers compiles its rankings by interviewing clients and competitors and
for that reason, Heisse says, the recognition is particularly noteworthy.
"I know I speak for each of the 29 Thelen attorneys recognized by Chambers
when I say I fully appreciate that being individually named in Chambers
wouldn't happen without the tendency of clients and opposing counsel to
attribute the work of a team to the lead lawyer on the matter. Each of us, as
well as the department and firm overall, is the beneficiary of a hard working
and extraordinary talented group of professionals -- including our fellow
partners, associates, legal assistants, secretaries, librarians, and other
staff members."
Speaking about his acceptance of the award on behalf of the firm, Heisse
had this message for his group: "It was an honor and a privilege to accept the
award on behalf of all of you. Thank you for your dedication to the firm, the
team, and our clients."
